Christmas Questions


Just love this picture, so I had to include it!

Still haven't had a chance to record the last couple of weeks, but for now, here's this fun Christmas questionnaire.

1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Love wrapping paper, but sometimes resort to bags. But never for kids, they need the joy of opening presents!
2. Real tree or Artificial? Mine is artificial, it preserves my marital relationship, but I would love a real one!
3. When do you put up the tree? Sometime after Thanksgiving, NEVER before!
4. When do you take the tree down? Sometime in January
5. Do you like eggnog? Love egg nog
6. Favorite gift received as a child? hmmm, can't remember, I was a snoop so not a whole lot of things were surprises but all Christmasses were great!
7. Hardest person to buy for? I think mom and mom-in-law, I always want to get them something they will like, but I don't usually succeed.
8. Easiest person to buy for? Bevan- he's happy with a car and a ball
9. Do you have a nativity scene? Two, one my mil gave us (Willow Tree) and one my mom brought us from Jerusalem
10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Love mail, but I'm not sending any this year...
11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? hmm, I'm not saying, I don't want to insult anyone, it had good intentions!
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Original How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon)
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Dec. 26
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? Hmm, don't think so
15. Favorite thing to eat or drink at Christmas. Turkey
16. Lights on the tree? The more the merrier, I will never forget the year my mil had so many lights it literally heated up the room!
17. Favorite Christmas song? Oh, Holy Night
18. Travel at Christmas or stay home? Home!!!
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeer? yup, but I won't right now



20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Snowflake
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Most Christmas morning, the family we are with on Christmas eve get opened then
22. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? There's not much I dislike. I love it all! The crowds, the music, the busyness, all of it!
23. Favorite ornament theme or color? My tree is very Dr. Seuss/Disney and I love it!
24. Favorite for Christmas dinner? Turkey or Prime Rib but I love it to be easy
25. What do you want for Christmas this year? No debt- not going to happen, but I can dream!26. Who is most likely to respond to this? ???

This post made me chuckle. Carol's Christmas tree that probably should have burned down the house was great, so is the fact that you start Christmas shopping on Dec 26. I also laughed about fake trees keeping the peace in a marriage. I think the first fight Brian and I got in after getting married was when we were trying to put up our first Christmas tree. We are older and wiser now and have a fake tree that opens up like a balloon and is pre-lit. Pure genius!
